Is there going to be a discord chat for this RP?

EDIT: Would the ship's doctor be considered an engineer?

I don't have plans to make a Discord for it at the moment, but we'll see once it gets going. 

I suppose it would but at the start there won't likely be a doctor. For the first ship they're going to be on, you're looking at a ship basically like this:

With some guns bolted to the deck and the crew quarters is a bunch of hammocks strung up. More positions will open up in the future, when there are more dedicated positions, but at the moment ships aren't meant to go out for long, and if a doctor is needed, they're expected to basically patch them up and get them back to the city.

I'd say if your character has experience as a doctor, and wants to be one, let that be their aspiration, or at least one of them.
